It's been fun dropping the contortions for coverage.py 4.x, though!

One request: ignore "if __name__ == '__main__':" clauses at the end of
files, which cannot be run under coverage.py, so 100% coverage is
reported as 100% instead of 9x%.

You can do this already with current Coverage: tell Coverage to exclude

statements, and it won't count them for coverage calculations.

While that's neat (being able to exclude items) is there any reason to ever count the `if __name__ == '__main__'` clause? Are there any circumstances where it could run under Coverage? (Apologies if this is a dumb question, I know nothing about Coverage myself -- but I'm going to go look it up now. ;)
